Image Hunter Version 2 – Two New Satellites Are Live Plus Stereo Data for the First Time!

Have you checked out the new and improved Image Hunter yet?!?! If not, you should!

Listening to the feedback we received on improving imagery search engines, the new version of Image Hunter features a major overhaul to the user interface as well as to the backend architecture. Image Hunter Version 2 is built on open-source technology so now it works on all computers, not just on Windows machines. We slimmed down the user interface to make it easier to find the imagery filters and other available tools. All things said, we really think you will enjoy your browsing experience with Image Hunter (Version 2).

Key June 2017 Improvement(s)

We are very happy to announce that we added in two new satellites to Image Hunter in the recent weeks. The first is the 80-centimeter (cm) panchromatic and 3.2-meter (m) multispectral Chinese satellite, GaoFen-2 or GF-2. The second is our very first stereo imagery dataset in Image Hunter, yay!, and it is 3.5-m panchromatic only imagery from the Chinese satellite, ZiYuan-3 or ZY-3. We are excited to be adding in new satellites to Image Hunter this month and the next – with at least five more medium and high-resolution satellites planned for addition!

The future is now! We launched our highly anticipated Data Alert service in mid-2015 and it’s a hit! Data Alert lets you define an area of interest anywhere around the globe, the resolution your project requires and the number of months we should keep the alert active. Once this is set up, we check for new data over your area of interest every single day, and send you an email alert when we find coverage that meets your specifications. We have a short YouTube video with directions to set up a Data Alert, check out the second video. And we have written directions for Data Alert here.

And as you might have seen in past articles, we now feature hourly updates (seriously!) of GeoEye-1, Pléiades 1, SPOT 6/7 and WorldView-1/2/3!

Image Hunter can be accessed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and is a one-stop shop for every major source of medium and high-resolution satellite imagery on the market today, including:

If any of our readers have struggled with other geospatial search engines that are clunky, only query one data source and/or do not provide image previews, then Image Hunter is the solution to your woes, as it features:
